Fluoridation, the addition of fluoride chemicals
into public water supplies, began 68 years ago promising to eradicate tooth
decay, lower dental bills, and put dentists out of
business.

Instead, tooth decay rates
and dental bills are rising, more dental professionals were created, more dental
schools opened, both fluoridated dental products and tooth decay have become
multi-billion dollar international industries. And fluoride-overdose, dental
fluorosis, is the new epidemic facing America’s children, along with UNtreated tooth decay.

The
following fluoride-related stories occurred in 2012 adding to the alarming body of evidence
proving fluoridation is not safe, not effective and not
wanted:

-- New Hampshire
Passes First State-Wide Fluoride Warning
Law“if your child under the age
of 6 months is exclusively consuming infant formula reconstituted with
fluoridated water, there may be an increased chance of dental
fluorosis.”

--37 studies link
fluoride to reduced IQ in human populations. FANlocated
obtained, and — in many cases — translated these studies.FANalso
identified dozens of other studies which correlate fluoride exposure with

Fluoridationists continually
misrepresent this research. So, Grandjean corrects them on his own
blog,
“Chemical brain drain should not be disregarded. The average IQ deficit in
children exposed to increased levels of fluoride in drinking water was found to
correspond to about 7 points – a sizable difference. To which extent this risk
applies to fluoridation in Wichita or Portland or elsewhere is uncertain, but definitely
deserves concern.”

-- Crescent City,
California stops
fluoridation partially because
no fluoridation chemical manufacturer or distributor could provide required
safety studies. They join fluoridation-free Poughkeepsie, NY;
Selmer, Tennessee and the Carroll-Boone Water District employees,
Arkansas in asking for but failing to receive this
necessary documentation.

-- “the average number of decayed, missing or filled teeth in
12-year-olds was higher in the United States than in 11 peer countries (and
three nonpeer countries)” behind 13 countries that do not
fluoridate public water supplies according to a National Research Report.

-- Dentists are trained to use politics and not
science to promote water fluoridation, according to a Journal of the American Dental
Association article. The authors write: "Studies of dentists' attitudes about
water fluoridation suggest that a lack of knowledge and preparedness are
barriers to discussing the topic ... more than one-half of the respondents
believed they needed more information and training on the issue…Dentists’ lack
of self-efficacy with respect to critically evaluating scientific literature may
help to explain their reluctance to promote
fluoridation”

-- Public Relations fluoridation-promoter
strategist, Matt Jacob paid by the Pew Foundation, teaches fluoridationists to focus on teeth and not
health. “Opponents are likely to win if the dialogue is trapped” on
Harms and Risks, he says.

--
New York City
Fluoridation Opposition Rally held by Council Member Peter Vallone, Jr.
on city hall steps. Local school
children studied the issue and protest the continued addition of fluoride
chemicals into their bodies via NYC’s water supply without their
consent.

“As the
I-Team dug into the science behind the fluoride controversy, we found study
after study dating back to the 80s from respected academic and scientific
institutions that connect fluoride to health dangers.”

-- Exposure to fluoride
suppresses the production of certain cells that resorb bone, and
account for osteosclerosis, an
increase in bone density, the major clinical manifestation of skeletal
fluorosis, according to a report in the journal Fluoride(Vol. 45, No. 2,
2012)

-- Postmenopausal women drinking water with 2.0
parts per million fluoride suffered significantly greater oxidative stress on
their bones than women drinking
water in a village with a low amount of fluoride, researchers reported in the
same issue of the journal Fluoride (pp.
108-115).

--- “Some infant foods/drinks, when reconstituted
with fluoridated water, may result in a F intake in infants above the suggested
optimum range and therefore may put infants at risk of developing dental
fluorosis” Community Dentistry and Oral
Epidemiology,

-- Captive New Zealand zoo frogs living in ponds of
fluoridated water (0.94 ppm) suffered increased rates of bone
disease, “consistent with skeletal
fluorosis” and mortality according to published research

In 2012,
the following joined
hundreds of communities that stopped or rejected fluoridation:
